We had a wonderful stay at the whales Way Retreat. The view from the balcony is amazing. The breakfast was the best we had on our whole journey (don't miss the excellent pumpkin fritters). The host was very, very friendly and truely puts guest needs first.

My Fiance and I booked a suite for the weekend. We were asleep with our lights off, and it was after 9:00pm. The manager Leonie walks into our room, using another door connected to the other room , puts the light on in our room and just walks in.She never knocked or anything.She called it 'Human error' and told us...

Dear guests -
We are completely aware of the incident that took place during your stay here at Whales Way and we sincerely apologize profusely for what must have been a traumatic experience on your part. Leonie, our manager, immediately brought it under the attention of the owner the next morning. She could not see your Black BWM parked anywhere...

We had a lovely stay at Whale's Way Ocean Retreat. We received such a warm welcome from Maria, who couldn't have been more helpful. The breakfast was great and served on the verandah overlooking the sea - a beautiful setting. The first night we stayed in a ground floor room and then we moved to the stunning Ocean View room...

We had a wonderful and unforgettable stay at the Whales Way Ocean Retreat and it felt like coming home which mainly is due to the fact that the host are so lovely and heartwarming! The owner himself stayed there for a few days and he was so helpful and considerated (he even gave us a Shuttle to a recommended restaurant)!...

Whale's way retreat is a very nice place on a unbelieveble location in Wilderness! The breakfast could be better but the rooms were nice! What also a negative point is , that is when you want to have dinner you Always have to go outside and in the neberhood of Wilderness are'nt many nice places to find to eat very...

Clean bright 'nicest b&b on the block' great views, just about everything one could need Inc frige TV DVD Good price, welcoming hostess and staff and just a more comfortable seat outside would have been welcome on our sun filled terrace. Would def go again.

Andre was very helpful. The rates are very reasonable and well worth it. The beach is right there. As it was in the hot season, you could leave your room windows open and always have fresh cold air circulating.

We have returned home from a stay at Whale's Way, and what an amazing experience! We stayed in the Sky Suite, which is beautifully appointed, spacious, light, and with the wonderful view of the ocean. Could sit on the couch or on the balcony and watch the dolphins at play in the ocean. The breakfasts on the patio were more...
